if thats not sexist i dont know what is..

Considering how apprentices and other juniors tend to get treated in most workshops, it wouldn't be far from the truth, either.

well maybe an appentership is not for u.

if u cant handle a bit of crap on an internet forum. U'll make an awesome target in a workshop. I have supervised workshops and site work. If ur an appentice u'll always cop shit.

It will be like duane going to jail.

SWEET MEAT SWEET MEAT

Cmon be nice I did the job search training and you could be polishing for a bit ......what you need is a real job as aginst a dream job..... a real job probably pays 12.50 a hour and earns about 150 more than the dole.

Try new apprentiships or try for a job in sales at a big stealership and try to move within the buisness.

-sorry in advance- this is going to be a bit off topic, but I can't resist (just read Barra Bob's signature for the first time).....

It got me thinking, 1st of all, that on most bikes the head lights are all ready ON (In AUS anyway), but then I thought of course, it's one of those funny Ninjas with the "winking" eye. So maybe when the green machine that was travelling at lightspeed was to turn on the other light (is that how it works?) it would do a rather cool "breaking of the light barrier" instead of when planes just merely break the sound barrier.....

hhhmmmm.... so then what happens? does the bike do a cool pirroet rotating around the central point between the front headlights...
okay i'm going to stop now, and have another drink......

oh, yeah, uh, getting a job is a good idea... go do that too

Answer to that question.
1) you will still be travelling at the speed of light.
2) your headlights will still be ON.

Think of it as Light is 'static', Speed is 'dynamic', 'speed of light' is the time/speed of the light when switched on travels from point A to point B. So if you travel at the speed of light and switch on the light, the light will be instantaneous, T=0s.
Because speed of light is so fast, we always think light is instantaneous, but actually it's not.

i hope u have learnt from ur mistakes

Yep sure did .........

Ok now back to normal..well as normal as it gets

As for the lights on at the speed of light issue..

Answer to that question.
1) you will still be travelling at the speed of light.
2) your headlights will still be ON.

Now i realy am confused

I don't recall that one in school, we were all smart asses in class and don't belive that came up. It would have totaly stuffed the teacher

oh boy I have just read ALL of this for the first time

. That offended you Sorry but the guys are ALL right

. I grew up with a father only so was mainly around men. Dad being a mechanic made me do a course at TAFE when I was 15 in Automotive training etc Spray painting, mechanics, welding etc. What has been written in here is mild compared to what happens in the real world

. I have worked in panel shops, detailers and all sorts of other jobs where I was the only female and being gifted in the chest area I coped heaps and heaps

. Of course their is a limit to how far it goes bla bla but hey if I let every man that has ever commented on things because I am a woman stop me from getting to where I want to go I would be one of those that stays in the kitchen and irons and does nothing

. Shrug it of because I can tell you if you plan on working in a field that you are going to get 98 men to 2 women you are going to get things come out of peoples mouths much much worse than this. Even now that I sell adult toys as a part time job people seem to label you

. So if I listened to everything people say again I would be at home doing noting but ironing and cleaning. Stand up for yourself these guys are joking.

I would expect that as an apprentise mechanic you would cop shit for being any one of the following:

female, male, short, tall, white, brown, yellow, red, green, spotty, blond, ginger, christian, jewish, muslim, french, german, italian, english, australian, kiwi, dutch, french, rich, poor, smart, dumb.

You just put up with it..... and give back as good as they get...

That's sounding pretty close to the description of the perfect woman.

Um, in a word, no.

By special relativity, time stands still in a reference frame moving at the speed of light relative to another reference frame.

So, if you were travelling at the speed of light, you couldn't switch on your high-beams because it would take you infinitely long to do so, rendering the question moot.
